Hey AppVault! You copied my Broken Apple graphics!

Late last night, we found out that AppVault has added a all-too-familiar-looking Broken Apple to their website – because AppBox complained that AppVault was too similar and infringed on their copyright. Here is the original website from AppVault:

AppVault copyrighted broken

But if you go to the website now, you would see the below instead. Spot the differences?

AppVault without broken apple

Hmmm.. they took away MY BROKEN APPLE graphics! I am fine with you infringing my copyright, just give me due credits, can?

@AppVault, can you not silently drop my case? You don’t just remove an infringed material from your App Store blog just because you can :p

  • Hey Junda,

    Just wanted to write and apologize for the mistake we made here. We were stressed out due to the recent situation we're in and in a rush and forgot to include the attribution link. We are usually careful about this, but we screwed up this time.

    So please accept our apologies, and I agree that this was an especially bad time to make a mistake like this. As you've noticed, we've removed the image from our site. Sigh this is not our week!
